At first I wanted to cheat and skip on nail art altogether, leaving my nails in a solid colour. So as they corresponded with the theme, I chose a name-appropriate nail polish, Nubar Chocolate Coffee Bean. This polish is a stunner! It has a rich, well-pigmented dark chocolate brown base infused with raspberry/purple shimmer. Makes me think of those cakes I think are simple chocolate ones, but they turn out to have a layer or raspberry-ish something, which spoils the dessert completely in my eyes. Can a girl just have a simple dark chocolake cake, please? Ok, rant off. The polish is very beautiful and is completely opaque in 2 coats, although I'm guessing you can get away with a more generous one coat. Dry time is quite usually fast with Nubar, and this polish is no exception, but I used a coat of INM OTD anyway, because I was tired and wanted my nails dry as soon as possible. Frankly, I think it made the shimmer shy, and next time I'm going to wear this polish sans top coat (something i never do, I'm too impatient to do something and always screw up semi-dried varnish!). The downside of the polish is that it is prone to cuticle drag, so I'd recommend waiting a couple of minutes between the coats, if that's not a habit of yours (my case - I never wait between coats!).

I wanted to leave it as it was, but my conscience decided to wake up, so I took a fine nail art brush, Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Green Tea, Nubar Moire and OPI You Don't Know Jacques and freehanded a cone of green tea ice cream on my ring finger - LOVE that! Now I desperately want some, and it's 1:30 AM in Moscow..damn it.
